There are many John Lotts, Jesse Lotts, Arthur Lotts, and Mark Lotts that I am researching. (It is very confusing!)

John Barron has a great website on the Lotts. My problem is that my gggrandfather Mark Lott moved from Edgecombe, South Carolina, across Georgia and into Benton County,(now Cleburne County) Alabama. Several Lotts traveled with him--One being Jesse Lott. My Mark Lott married Parthernia Burgess and they had about 12 children (Don't have my notes with me) When Parthenia Burgess died,( I have her information too) Mark Lott married Elizabeth Clark. They had 5 children. My greatgrandfather was Henry Jackson Lott. He married Sarah Jane McCaghren in Alabama. Later they moved to Texas. Some of Henry Jackson's family moved to Texas also in Mid 1800s. Winnie, Mark Lott,Jr., Richard, William. They are all buried in Iredale, Texas except for Richard Lott who became "lost" too! I Know I am related to the Lotts who went to Mississippi. Why my Mark Lott moved to Alabama is unclear, and I have clues, but really no idea who Mark Lott's father or mother were. I have photos of My Mark Lott, Elizabeth Clark, his second wife, Mark Lott, Jr and his wife Caroline Bannon?? In this photo, Mark Lott, Jr. is holding the Lott family Bible. There are pictures of Mark's second family. Larry Lott and his family still live in the same area where Mark Lott and his two wives are buried.
Larry comes from Mark's second family. To me the Lott family were and are very interesting people.

MY CHILOTT FAMILY WAS PROBABLY FROM FRANCE, GERMANY, OR ENGLAND.
ANTHONY CHILCOTT, SR. CAN BE FOUND FROM CENSUS RECORDS, LAND RECORDS, AND WILLS IN DORCHESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND CIRCA 1640. ANTHONY CHILOTT AND HIS WIFE MARGARET ?? WERE PROBABLY FARMERS. ANTHONY CHILCOTT RECEIVED A PATENT FOR 300 ACRES FROM MAJOR THOMAS TAYLOR. TAYLOR RECEIVED HIS LAND FROM LORD BALTIMORE (I DO NOT KNOW FROM WHICH ONE)
OF THE CALVERT FAMILY. THE 300 ACRES OF LAND AWARDED TO ANTHONY, CHILCOTT, SR. WAS CALLED "WORLD'S END" THERE IS STILL A MARKER IN DORCHESTER COUNTY, MD. A CHILCUTT COUSIN FOUND IT ON A TRIP TO MARYLAND, AND IT STILL SAYS "WORLD'S END". THE PICTURE HE TOOK IS VERY GRAINY, BUT YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE WORDS. IT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF CHESEAPEAKE BAY, AND THE NORTHWEST RIVER FORK OF NANTICOKE.
MY LINE GOES NEXT TO GEORGE CHILLCOTT (CHILCUTT, CHILLCUTT, OR SHILCUTT)WHO MARRIED SARAH ??. THEY LIVED AT "WORLD'S END". GEORGE LEFT A WILL FOR HIS 3 CHILDREN AND WIFE SARAH. HE GAVE THEM LAND, CATTLE, AND HORSES. JOHN CHILCOTT, GEORGE AND SARAH'S OLDEST SON, WAS BORN IN DORCHESTER CO., MD. HIS WIFE WAS REBECCA ??. THEY HAD 12 CHILDREN. THIS CHILCUTT FAMILY MOVED TO GUILFORD COURTHOUSE, NC. JOHN CHILCUTT MAY HAVE FOUGHT IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN THE SOUTHERN BATTLES AGAINST THE BRITISH. (NO PROOF) THE EIGHTH CHILD WAS JAMES LEWIS CHILCUTT AND WIFE DEBORAH WEATHERLY.(NOTE- ON OLD MAPS WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE WEATHERLY FAMILY ARE MOVING WITH THE CHLCUTT FAMILY FROM MARYLAND, NC., TO TENNESEE.) THE CHILCUTT AND WEATHERLY FAMILY MOVED TO CLEVELAND, TN.-BRADLEY COUNTY. THEIR CHILDREN FOUNDED A CHILCUTT SCHOOL AND A CHILCUTT METHODIST CHURCH 10 MILES FROM CLEVELAND, TN. THE CHURCH IS STILL USED BY THE SMALL COMMUNITY THERE. IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE LOCAL PEOPLE IN THAT AREA ARE TO BE ADMIRED FOR TAKING SUCH GREAT CARE OF THE CHILCUTT CHURCH AND CEMETERY. JAMES WRIGHT CHILCUTT AND DEBORAH ARE BURIED IN THIS CEMETERY. THE CHILCUTTS, IN TN., MARRIED INTO THE GOINS, COWDEN, WEATHERLY, STARRAT, EDWARDS, WIMPY, DEARING, LEE, AND LAWSON FAMILIES OF BRADLEY CO., TN. THEIR OLDEST DAUGHTER, DINA MARRIED INTO THE GOIN'S FAMILY. THIS IS ABOUT THE ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT STILL LIVE IN BRADLEY CO., TN. JAMES AND DEBORAH CHILCUTT'S SON ANDREW CHILCUTT MARRIED ELIZABETH WIMPY. THEY ARE BOTH BURIED IN BRADLEY CO., TN. THEIR SON, JOHN ADEN CHILCUTT, MARRIED MARGARET JANE SMITH OF POLK CO. TN.
